Pretty neat. I got interested in pentagonal numbers once, but I've lost most interest in playing Pick N except on paper.

As a follow-up, these are the Pick 2/3/4/5/6 combos that represent square numbers (as digit strings) and have the property that the sums and products of their digits are square numbers. Totals are in parentheses below each list.

You know that it is in Florida, add a fireball.

Fireball:

Heat the ball in a pan with butter and molten sugar. Let caramelize. Poor whisky on it and put the dish on fire. Serve burning. Forget about the ceiling.

This is just a mathematical curiosity, not anything that will help you predict Pick 2/2/3/4/5/6. For each game I have listed all of the box combos where both the sum of the digits and the product of the digits is a square number. It's not the same thing as Pick-n digit strings that represent square numbers. In parentheses below each list is the number of box combos.
